Facebooks political ads disclosure rules algorithm blocks ads for lawn-mowing, waxing salons, Walmart, and more that use the words bush and Clinton

Blaine Simons last month paid Facebook to run an ad for his lawn-mowing company, Al Mowit, in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Facebooks new political rules block ads for businesses with Bush, Clinton in name

Facebooks political ad verification rules blocked ads about -beans -hair waxing -shrubbery because they contained the word Bush. and ads about – baseball – theater – free food at church for kids because they were from towns called Clinton /l7pEY86g5E

Conducting business in our automated future is so frustratingly dumb. We run into so many similiar problems all the time. Goodluck going through the support staff who are in a rush to get you gone and who dont understand the rules, you or anything else about the matter.

In its defense against a former app startup, Facebook is contradicting its long-held claim to be simply a neutral platform

Facebook claims it is publisher in court case

In the Six4Three case, FB argues it is both protected by s. 230 and has 1st Am protection as a publisher. Google has made similar arguments in the past, but this is the first time Ive seen an intermediary argue both in the same case.

Is Facebook a publisher? In public it says no, but in court it says yes. @daphnehk said Section 230 was designed to allow platforms like Facebook to do some moderation, They need to be able to make discretionary choices about content.
